CalSpeed's new version to Include Improvements

For citizens interested in getting personally involved with our mobile testing program, there is always the option of downloading our mobile app, CalSpeed, in which any data you complile will be crowdsourced to our Interactive Map. Of special note, at the end of the month there will be a new version of CalSpeed that will include a testing history, so you can keep a record of all your tests, and it will provide GPS coordinates so we can track the crowdsource testing better geographically for the Map. Our designers at California State Monterey Bay are hard at work. CalSpeed is a top of the line mobile broadband speed app and what's more, it is free and available for download at Google Play. download on the Google Play store.

About Me

Beginning in May 2012, the California Public Utilities Commission embarked on a semi-annual mobile field testing program to assess broadband coverage and speeds at 1,200 locations around the state. The scope expanded in 2014 to cover 1,990 locations. Testing is done once in the spring and once in the fall. Tests include round trip time (ping), UDP packet loss, and TCP throughput for the four major mobile carriers. The results are available on the CPUC's interactive broadband map (www.broadbandmap.ca.gov). The project is now funded through the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF), which is administered by the CPUC. The mobile testing project was originally funded by a State Broadband Initiative Grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
